Jesus Appears to Apostles at Sea of TiberiusFr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
This week, try to pray the beautiful prayer, “Jesus, I trust in you” throughout the week.
Jesus Christ is Risen Today, Halleluiah!
Please click on the button below to get to this week’s bulletin and Fr. Patrick’s article on the front page. In the article, Fr. Patrick highlighted several positive experiences during the Triduum leading up to Easter and on Easter itself. Briefly: best attendance since the pandemic; very generous Easter collection; people who have come into the Catholic Church at Easter; the organ is being repaired; thanks to all the volunteers who helped make things happen during that last week leading up to the Easter weekend.Fr. Patrick’s Bulletin Article “As the Father has sent me, so I am sending You”
Oh, me? I am being sent?
Well, give it a little thought! Well, maybe more than a little.
Perhaps we can mention how joyful were the Easter celebrations.
Perhaps we can share one of those Corpus Christi invitation cards with a friend or family member.
OR, maybe we could even consider trying one of the parish Evangelization efforts … once? … once a month? … once a week?

You all are greatly appreciated!Corpus Christi Annual Women’s Retreat
You are invited to join women of Corpus Christi on a spiritual retreat at the Capuchin retreat center in Washington, MI, May 13-15, 2022. (This is not Mother’s Day Weekend.) To register and find out more details, contact Brenda Martin, available after Mass or call 248-943-0974. Partial scholarships are available, and Brenda will have these forms for you to complete.
The purpose of a retreat is to break away from the distractions of everyday life to communicate more closely with God. The theme of the retreat is: ”I will be with you always.” (Matt. 28:20) On this retreat we invite you to “let go—let God”. God is here right now and present. What helps us to hope and know that God is with us, is present in every age and moment? In the moments of uncertainty, we are called to trust the Lord. Trusting that God is with you gives you a freedom to let go and place your life in God’s hand.SPRING CLEANUP
